you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.
toddler shane refusing to talk after his hockey team lose a game. yuna & david are trying to be encouraging like “bud!! you played so good!!” and shane is ignoring them while climbing into his car seat where he’s going to angrily drink his juice box and then chew on the straw.
He’s had a rough day…

any intruders are welcome to join us for story time
my liege the enemies to lovers yaoi is affecting your perception of the danger of real enemies.
when will it be my turn.
holy fuck
happy one year to bedtime yaoi
Okay justice for Ilya Rozanov, a man who notably managed his entire families finances and his dementia-having fathers caretaking since he was literally a teenager, while also essentially raising himself to be an elite, generational athlete by himself.
like what is this ‘Ilya needs the threat of a sex ban to pick up his socks’ slander or this ‘Ilya has terrible financial literacy’ misinformation or this ‘Ilya only eats junk food and needs to be forced to eat his veggies’ tomfoolery
just got reminded of the "shane likes a girl" line and as a lesbian who tried so hard to like men i just AAAAAAAAH. i cant imagine the relief that came with that realization as false as it was i just know it felt like the world was lifted from his shoulders. i know exactly what its like to try and try to fit in to do it the "right way" and how much it sucks to never quite get it right. but for shane in this moment hes doing everything right, he went out had a drink met a pretty girl and he likes her, this is what hes supposed to do. i cant imagine the feelings when he realized things still arent working, hes still thinking about ilya, hes still looking at miles when he should be looking at rose, and the sex still isnt working. hes trying his best but it isnt enough because this isnt something he can fix by trying his best and i just know that killed him a little inside. shane wanted the option to love someone out loud and have no one question it, he wanted to be like hayden and simply be in love and happy and for so many queer ppl there isn't a simple way to be in love. the simple fact that you are a same sex couple invites scrutiny and judgement. with rose he thought he could have that and with ilya he'll never get that.

It's Open With Ilana Glazer
I loved this interview, yayyy a gifset!!
I think this is something lost on the audience in the show that is explicitly implicit in the books.
Shane thinks Ilya is a sex god bc
1) he is "better at sex" than shane
2) shane up to this point hasn't had a successful and Very Good sexual experience. He literally says once Ilya dick is inside him that he "finally understands why people are sex- obsessed." It has clicked, and his brain says its because of ilya, not bc he is gay
3) ilya is a whore so that translates in shanes brain to very experienced, good at it, therefore sex god
They tease back and forth that ilya has ruined sex for shane bc no one else will do, and while shane is embarrassed by this, he agrees.
In TLG it comes out that ilya has maybe been with like 5-10 guys at most. Personally i think its the lower end of that. He specifically says that men are a "rare treat," implying that 1) its safer to pull women (he really is terrified of being outed and shipped back to russia), and 2) he only pulls men when he is missing shane so much he cant stand it.
Shane has canonically been with 3 men. Two pulls he didnt care for, and ilya. Again, in his mind, ilya is the key, but its not inherently bc of ilya's skill, its because of their crazy deep connection.
I LOVE that Jacob said this, because its not so explicit in the show. You get little tells (ilya's "wow" at Shane's desperation and automatic submission; his quick orgasms in ep1 - he is just as overwhelmed and turned on as shane is; his face the first time he fucks shane, especially when he goes in from behind) but in the end, ilya is so desperate to please shane and make it perfect that he just makes it happen out of sheer willpower. But the second he realizes shane is coming untouched under his he makes way too much noise, bites his lips to squash it (embarrased, wants to be more in control than that), and immediately comes. Its not inherent skill, its attention and the overwhelming desire to please, mixed with a little control freak energy and genuine exhilaration at Shane's automatic submission.
ive noticed a weird trend in heated rivalry ff of shane using ppl to get over ilya or just generally leading ppl on while trying to figure shit out with ilya and idk where it comes from. is that what ppl think he was doing with rose??? like ive read it happen a couple of times and always its rose/hayden telling him MULTIPLE times he should break things off and be honest and shane will be like ik but... AND THEN HE DOESNT. its like 50/50 on how the person reacts and if its a bad reaction the author always has ilya validate shane's actions and im always like????!?? has anyone else noticed this or am i going crazy
Shane does an interview after they're outed where he says, kind of off-handedly, that the one thing that still bothers him about having to keep their relationship secret for so long is that there are no pictures of them together as a couple from those years.
Someone clips it and it goes viral.
Over the next few days, Shane and Ilya's mentions start to get flooded with pictures. Mostly it's screenshots from various games they played against each other, meticulously picked through by dedicated fans to find every moment Shane and Ilya looked at each other on the ice.
Some screenshots get shared by hundreds of different people because they stand out so obviously: Shane and Ilya meeting each other's eyes during a face off; Ilya looking at Shane while his back is turned, naked longing visible on his face; Shane chasing after Ilya with a small but delighted grin.
There are also pictures from press events, award ceremonies, behind the scenes at All Stars. Seemingly any time Shane and Ilya got captured in the same frame gets dug up and shared.
Finally, a couple of weeks later, the director of Shane and Ilya's CCM commercial posts outtakes from their shoot. It's captioned 'Took a bit of digging but I knew I still had these somewhere! I had to make my contribution to the #HollanovArchives even though this must have been a while before they got together. These kids had crazy chemistry, right from the start!'
Shane hasn't responded to the onslaught yet, too overwhelmed by the (slightly terrifying) dedication of their fans as well as the fact that he now has dozens of pictures clearly displaying his and Ilya's love for each other during a time in their lives when it was so desperately hidden.
He does respond now, sharing the director's post with a sincere (and publicist-approved) caption thanking him and the fans.
Ilya also shares the post, tacking on 'yes if a while means a few hours 👅' like he didn't cry when Shane showed him the videos.
not buying the product isn't enough I need the company to know their advertising made me want to kill them with a golf club.
Bruce being completely oblivious to when the kids start dating and just not getting it because he himself wasn't remotely interesting in dating until he's in his 20s or so and just assumes the kids are the same.
Bruce who wonders why Jim Gordon pulls him aside at a gala and tells Bruce that under no certain terms is Barbara having a sleepover with Dick and Bruce is like, 'they're friends?' and 'are you doubting I'm a good parent?' and just not getting it until Jim underlines his very pressing desire to not be a grandfather.
Clark who walks in on Tim and Kon fooling around and immediately hurries to tell Bruce that they're probably dating and they should let the kids know that they're totally OK with it, only for Bruce to be like, 'nah'. Alfred then has to break it to both of them that Tim and Kon have been dating for like a year.
And it happens over and over again and Bruce just can't comprehend that his kids are ready to date or are even thinking about dating. Bruce who has to have the news broken to him gently as possible and explained in the most basic terms because he can't compute these facts.

US Book ban on LGBTQIA books
The nationwide book ban bill, HR 7661, has progressed out of committee and into the House. Here's what you need to know to take action.
At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.
Stop the bill dead in its tracks. LGBTQIA people have a right to be represented in books.

im watching episode 4 and i just fucking realized MILES IS AT THE GAME WITH ROSE!!!! I NEVER FUCKING NOTICED BEFORE OMFG also noticing all the little things people were pointing out bc im watching with headphones on this time
Shane, visibly distressed and standing in the middle of the living room: ………….
Ilya: would you like to make a list
Shane: I would like to make a list
Ilya, sighing and disappearing into the office: I will get your special pen
rereading the long game and noticing how rachel really lets every opportunity to bring shanes race into play slip through her fingers. like the hockey camp coaches are talking about how hockey can be flawed and ILYA is more aware of the flaws then SHANE THE ASIAN MAN IS?!?!! like shane would definitely have dealt with some racism from being a superstar in an extremely white sport he WOULD know the game and the NHL are flawed and not only that HES A GAY MAN whose currently in the closet bc of those same FUCKING FLAWS
